'Trimsaran. I
Trimsaran. I To the Editor of the "Llanelly Mercury." Sir,—Having a longing to record my appre- ciation of Trimsaran and its inhabitants, I should be glad if you would find loom in several issues of your valuable paper for the contributions I am anxious to supply I pur- pose describing the village and its surround- ings from a few choice spots of ground, tak- ing first the eminence situated between Waauihir Colliery and Brickworks. On nume- rous occasions that hill and the view obtain- able therefrom has filled my mind with joy, enthusiasm, and excitement. I consider my- self very fortunate in being privileged to be once more in Trimsaran at this time of the year, as in the" merrie month Nature can be seen in her loveliest conditions. Adjacent to the colliery, the hill and its slope are pro- fusely decked with fresh young ferns, inter- mingled with flowers of almost every hue. Some are as white as the unsullied snow and as frail looking as the gossamer wing of the butterfly. Some are as blue as the summer sky, and others the colour of virgin gold. All afford delight and satisfaction to the. senses. Soon the flaunting foxgloves will appear in gallant array, and seem like a mighty army guarding a veritable Eden from the near approach of ruthless despoilers. The background to this splendid scenery is really enchanting. A wood crowns the emi- nence, green-leaved, with alluring depths and shade, and carpeted with ferns and bluebells thick as leaves in Vallombrosa. The view in front is magnificent and comprehensive, com- prising the hills beyond the lovely Gwen- draeth Valley and the large tract of smiling, peaceful country between. Cottages and farmhouses nestle so cosily amid trees that they are almost hidden from sight; bonnie plantations and a goodly number of trees, bright and beautiful in their varied foliage, also being in evidence. A multitude of fields, many of which are surrounded by luxuriant hedges, greet my enthralled vision. Some are shapely, while others remind one of the crooked letters of the alphabet. In several places a cornfield is sandwiched between fer- tile pastures, making a contrast pleasing to the eye. With the sun shining brilliantly, deluging the whole superb and delightful panorama with its golden light, with sweet flowers all around, with a sustained chorus of bird songs falling on listening, appreciative ears, and with pure, invigorating air to inhale one feels, while on this charming spot, deeply grateful to the Giver of all good for having created such a wonderful world, for so freely and lovingly bestowing and preserving life, sight, hearing, and health Before coming to Trimsaran I had never seen a colliery or brickworks so charmingly placed, and never in the past, with the ex- ception of my own excellent employers, have I met with such kindly, sympathetic officials as are those connected with the Trimsaran Colliery and Brickworks Company, viz., W. J. Graham, Esq., Mr. Albert Jones, and Mr. D. Williams. Of these true men and good it is eminently suitable to say: Thus each, one bears, without abuse The grand old name of gentleman, Defamed by every charlatan, And put to most ignoble use. And worthy Dr. Howeils is a thorough gentleman, too. Courteous, cheerful, atten- tive. helpful, generous, and clever, he is a distinct credit to a noble profession.—Yours, j- C, WILLIAM BOSWELL.
The Holidays.
The Holidays. To the Editor of the "Llanelly Mercury." Sir,Many are the places selected by Llan- ellyites for spending a short holiday in during the summer months. Llanwrtyd, Llangam- mareli, Llandrindod, Builtlr, etc., have a tre- mendous attraction for some folks, whilst others give preference to seaside resorts, such as Aberystwyth, Tenby, Mumbles, Porthcawl, Burvy Port, etc. The reason why these places are is. in my opinion, because they are held up in the estimation of the holiday- makers as places where health abounds, where the air is bracing, invigorating, and contains all the health-giving properties which it is possible for any air to possess. The ozone of the seaside resorts is most in- vigorating, and thei pure air of the hills is most bracing. All these places are in the distance, and distance lends enchantment to r he scene How often we are apt to forget that we in Llanelly are blessed with a holi- day resort close .at .hand which is second to none of the places I have mentioned. Six miles away we have the quiet little village of Llannon, nestled among the hills and shel- tered from the storms, where the air is quite as pure as it is on the Llandrindod hills, and quite as bracing as it is at Aberystwyth or the Mumbles. In fact, the air, according to t he medical profession, is laden with health- giving properties, and it carries upon its wings the pure ozone of the Atlantic. Lately the renowned old hotel of the village has been renovated, and can now accommodate a few visitors, and who does not know of the beautiful plates of ham and eggs which many have gone up specially from Llanelly to en- joy. To spend a quiet week amongst the hills of Llannon would prove as effectual as if it was spent either in Llanwrtyd or Llan- drindod, and, in my opinion, much more so. The Wells are always crowded with all sorts of human-beings, and anyone going. there 'must submit to take his chance amongst the crowds and breathe the effluvia from all sorts and conditions of human-beings. In a quiet little village like Llannon there is no crowd, and a person does not run the risk of con- tracting diseases half as much as he dees in all our so-called holiday resorts. I verily LB- j lieve that even tuberculosis would be reduced to a iiia-r-(,Ilous extent ifour holiday-makers gave the crowded .watering-places a wide berth, and sought the eeclusion of a quiet country village away among the hills each summer-. I have spent very many happy tla-s in Llannon, and have felt all the better ((II Let others try it, and they will soon find iot themselves the benefit of this ad- < Mr. Editor, in antic-ipa- j ion, -Yours, etc., W, E.

SPRING'S DISILLUSIONS. I
SPRING'S DISILLUSIONS. I London, May 26th. I Tb., advent of spring is not always an iii-i- blessing. Spots, pimples, blackheads, ras h etc.,f)fren appear at this season of the year, on the late, neck, and arms, causing mten-'e disc i m ut and oftentimes humilia- tion. Thank- u. ( adum, a marvellous new discovery, sutterers may at last rejoice in spring, knowing that their spring troubles will disappear after a few applications of Cuduru. A new 6d. size has been introduced, which is sufficient to remove minor eruptions and other skin blemishes. In eczema, the itching stops at once, and the malady yields to the treatment, which even in the worst cases seldom extends..over a few weeks. The new Sd- find regular Is. packages of Cadum are on sale at Boots, Ltd.. and other chemists. I

CRICKET. I -0- I SWANSEA BEAT LLANELLY BY FOUR [ WICKETS. I The first important match of the season by Llanelly was played at St. Helen's, a start being made shortly aiter mid-day. Llanelly won the toss, and went first to the wickets, Percy Rees and H. Howell opening the inn-1 ings, Creber and Maxwell bowling. Rees was quickly hoveled by Creber. Then Howell and Clough made a stand. Three wickets, were down by lunch-time. After the fall of the third wicket Clough and Cliff Bowen played remarkably good cricket, raising the score from 31 to 87 before the former was caught in the slips by Dr Cameron off Max- well, having made 43. Bowen afterwards batted well, but J. Bevan was the only man he could find to make a stand with him. After the departure of Bowen, as the result of a fine catch in the deep field by Morris, the Llanelly innings rapidly came to a close, the only noteworthy feature being a clever throw in by Jack Bancroft, which ran out H. John with the score at 143, to which the last wicket only added four runs. Swansea went in to bat about four o'clock, Bancroft and Percy Morris opening the inn- ings merrily, hitting Gee and Clough about all round the wickets. W. J." was out, however, this time, just before reaching his 50. M. E. White was well applauded for his innings of 32, and Stanley Rees further caused the score to mount, the Llanelly total being passed whilst he and Nicholls were in, Swan- sea having five wickets to spare. Stumps were drawn shortly afterwards, to enable the Llanelly players to catch the train, Swansea thus winning by four wickets and 23 rims. Scmes Llanelly.

I The above match was played at Pontyberem last Satunlay. in brilliant cricket weather, and I ended in a win for the homesters. Edwards and Thomas made a good stand for the visi- tors. and the feature of the game was the bowling of Jack Davies, who took 5 wickets for 9 runs, and the remarkable batting of D. Jones, who batted two and a half hours for his 31 runs. cores :Po ntybereiii, 110 for 9: Hendy, 45. The Seconds also played at Hendy Ponty- berem batted first, putting up the total of 65 runs against Hendy's 132. The brilliancy of the. game was the batting of Morgans and Davies, and the bowling of the Pontyberem team, who showed that they possessed Dille good Ixiwlers, besides the captain, who took one wicket for 31 runs PARK CHURCH v. BURRY PORT II. I The Park Church Eleven'' were at home for the match on Saturday afterrnoon. last, and put up 130 for the loss of seven wickets, and then declared. Some fine batting was wit- nessed by E. Rogers and W. Rogers, who were in fine form. The visitors then followed, D. G. Hughes making a fine stand; but they were soon disposed of for 45 runs. For the winners J. W. Walker took four wickets for 16 runs, J Rogers 2 for 6, and A. Edwards 2 for 15. Scores:— Park Church. W. Rogers b C Williams 22, G. P. Phillipsc D. G. Hughes b C.

Felinfoel played their first League match at home on Saturday against Kidwelly, and after a pleasantly contested game ran. out easy winners by four wickets and 40 runs. The fielding on both sides was rather weak, the Felinfoel fielders losing several easy catchy. The out-sanding feature of the match was the fine batting of E. Roberts, who, going in at a critical time, changed the whole as- pect of the game' by his capital hitting. E. J. James also played capital cricket. Dr. Griffiths hit out merrily, but he was given at least three "lives" in his innings of 33. The most successful bowler of the day was Jere Griffiths, who took four wickets for 2 runs.

IKidwelly Town Council.I
Kidwelly Town Council. The monthly meeting of the above Council I The monthly me.eting of the Council was held on Friday evening last, the Mayor (Councillor D. G. Anthony) presiding, there being also present—Aldermen H. E. Smart, J. G. Anthony, W. Wilkins, Councillors Alfred Stephens, W. D. James, S. H. Anthony, Dunn Davies, T. Reynolds, D. Rowlands, J. Jones, R. H. Isaac, together with the Town Clerk (Mr. D. C. Edwards), the Medical Officer of Health (Dr. Griffiths), the Surveyor (Mr. John Morgan), and the Inspector (Mr John. Davies). The question oj Mr. John Harries's boun- dary wall at Castle House was discussed at, very great length, it being alleged that Mr. Harries had encroached on public property by putting up this wall. Councillor Stephens stated that the bye- laws read that the! boundary should be 15 ft. from the centre of the roadway. Council] or Rowlands said that he witnessed the foundations for this wall being made, and he contended that at least 9 feet of Corpora- tion property was taken. If one party was allowed to do this' sort of thing, then they ought to allow others to do the same Alderman Wilkins stated that the plans of the property had been before the Council before, the house was built, and it was. dis- tinctly specified at the rime that the house was to be built 15 feet from the centre of the road. Councillor Stephens said the question was, had Mr. Banios encroached or not ? If he had, then they ought to charge him a rent for the ground taken. Councillor James: If the Clerk will read the minutes of the meeting when the plans were; discussed, we siiall see that an arrange- ment was arrived at at the time. Mr. John Harries has given the Corporation one piece of ground to improve the road, and has taken another piece which was not so valuable as the piece lie gave. I consider that Mr. Har- ries has not dealt unfairly with the Council. Mr. George E. Bowen: Nobody seems to know whose property this piece is. I pre- sume the ground that belongs to the Corpora- tion is marked out on the plan, and before going any further in the matter we ought to carefully examine the plans, and see where we are. After a great deal more of sititilax discussion Councillor, James moved that the matter be deferred, and Alderman Smart seconded. This was done: in order to allow the council- lors an opportunity of visiting the. place and inspecting the wall in question. This was agreed to. Plans of three new houses proposed to be built in Priory Street, for Mr J. Burry Morse, were passed. THE CRATCH. Councillor W. D. James moved that a por- tion of the place known as The Cratch be fenced in" :lnd trees planted there. If this were done^ in a few years' time it would be seen that they had. done a wise thing. The gate to the place should also be locked, and the key kept by the Inspector or the road- man, because at present everybody tipped all kinds of rubbish there. Councillor Bowen seconded Mr. James, and approved of his remarks, not because he lived near, but because he thought some attention should really be given to this place. Councillor Isaac also approved, and said that no other town or village would tolerate such a state of things, and he trusted that steps would at once be taken to remedy the evil. s c.-aitlecl iteiii. eciii, Mr. James's motion was carried nem. con. ADDITIONAL WATER. I A report/from the analyst was read on the quality of the water from Gwenllian and the Mill Land Springs', and this showed that the water from the Mill Land Spring was the purest and most suitable for domestic pur- poses. A letter was read from Mr. T. Davies, the owner of the Mill Land, stating that lie would allow the Council to have the water for P-10 per annum. Councillor Stephens said that this price had been .fixed since the report arrived showing that this water was the best. Councillor James considered the price very reasonable. The expense of getting tho water from there would be heavy, though. The matter was left in i a ace. A letter was read from M'essrs. Lev is and James, of Narberth, complaining that the dirty water drained from Brickyard COI.ta?e21 contaminated the on!y water supply existing on Morfa Mawr, It was decided that Mr. Davies, London I House, the present tenant of Morfa MawT, should be seen on the question, in order to I arrive at a satisfactory agreement, in this case.

CHURCH PARADE.I
CHURCH PARADE. The combined forces of the local Territo- rials ynd Royal Engineers held a Church parade on Sunday last. The Royal Engineers were commanded by Second-lieutenant H. E. Trubshaw who was assisted by Second-lieut. H. S. Burn, Sergt.-Major Brown, R.E., and Sergt.-Instructor W. P Adams R.E., whilst the members of the 4th Welsh were under the command of Capt. Bramwell Jones, Lieut Hume Roderick, Lieut. Tregoning, Lieut. H. John, and Colour-sergeant-Instructor r. Shan- non. The R.A.M.C. were represented by Surgeon-Lieut.-Colonel E. Evans, and Lieut. Dick. After the service, which was held at All Saints' Church, the men marched to the headquarters at the Market, where a presen- tation meeting took place. Capt. W. Bramwell Jones said it was a pleasant duty to him to ask Mr E. Trubshaw, deputy-lieutenant of the county, to present Lieut.-Col. E. Evans, M.B., of the 4th Bat- talion, with the Territorial Long Service Medal, in recognition of his 20 years' faith- ful service in thBi late Volunteer and Territo- rial Forces, and also to present the long ser- vice and good conduct medal to Sergt.-Major A Brown, R.E., in acknowledgement of his faithful service during the past 18 years in the corps of the Royal Engineers, and for his exemplary character. At the same time, he would like to offer his congratulation to Sur- geon-Lieut.-Colonel E. Evans on receiving the medal, and also -on his promotion to that rank, and also to Sergt.-Major Brown. Mr. Trubshaw, in making the presenta- tions, spoke in felicitous terms of the good services of both, officers, and congratulated them on receiving such mementoes of honour.
Proposed Welsh Council. -0-
Proposed Welsh Council. -0- LOCAL COUNCIL'S SUPPORT. At a meeting of the Urban District Council on. Monday evening Mr E. T. Jones presiding, the Clerk said that with regard to the for- mation of a Welsh District Council Associa- tion, he found that the idea met with con- siderable support. There were several Welsh councIls who expressed themselves in favour of it. A meeting was to be held in the County Buildings, Llandrindod Wells, during Whitsuntide, and he believed, as they had al- ready supported the scheme, they would ap- point one or two delegates to attend He felt they would find the association of consider-, able use. I Mr. Nathan Griffiths said he! happened to read in the newspaper that the Clerk was moving in the matter of forming an associa- tion for South Wales Was it thei work of Mr Spowart or somebody else? He would like to know, first and foremost, if such was the case, and how it came to be put on their agenda. He had no fault to find, but he would have some fault to find if there was any glory attached to going to Llandrindod. He would like to warn them, and to give them a solemn warning, that there was no second class at present, and it would be use- less for them to put second class down again (laughter). If they were going to appoint any- body to attend, lie hoped it would be the best members on the Council, and not any Tim, Dick, and Harry. Mr. Jones: I propose1 we appoint Mr. Grif- fiths (laughter). Mr. Simlett: I will second that. Mr. Griffiths said lie could not attend. The Chairman said they would have to de- cide how many delegates they would send to the conference, and whether they would pay their expenses Mr. John Thomas enquired what would be the duties of the Association. Was it to look after the interests of Wales? The Clark said that many points cropped up nov and again of popular interest to the Principality. If any Welsh council was in any hardship, they would be obviously in a better position if they had a sister council to support them in any way. Mr. Bramwell Jones said he regretted the withdrawal of Mr. Griffiths. They were glad to see anything formed as a national confer- ence for Wales. He proposed, that they send the, Chairman and Vice-chairman, together with the Clerk, and that the Council pay their expenses. Having regard to the fact that there was no second-class, they would j remember that there was a first-class (laugh- j ter). Mr. urmuiis torgot- to say to at, Mr. Nathan Griffiths seconded the proposi tion, but he disagreed with Mr. Bramwell Jones with regard to the first-class There was a third-class Mr. Bramwell. Jones: I thought you were in the guard's van (laughter). fli(, .ir- It was ultimately decided that the Chair- roan and Vice-chairman be appointed, and in the event of the Vice-chairman's inabilify to attend, Mr W. Bramwell Jones was appointed j in his stead. )
